README

The DWARF Debugging Information Format is of interest to programmers working on
compilers and debuggers (and anyone interested in reading or writing DWARF
information). It was developed by a committee (known as the PLSIG at the time)
starting around 1991. Starting around 1991 SGI got involved with the committee
and then developed the libdwarf and dwarfdump tools for SGI-internal use and as
part of SGI IRIX developer tools. From around 1993 dwarfdump and libdwarf were
shipped (as an executable and archive respectively, not source) with every
release of the SGI MIPS/IRIX C compiler. In 1994 (I think the correct year) SGI
agreed (at my request) to open-source libdwarf (and in 1999 to open-source
dwarfdump) so anyone could use them.
